Haven't checked out the WinMX for a while. But I hear it's the #1 p2p nowadays according to a study.

i used to love winmx in the beginning, but i stopped when i had to download 4-5 versjons of the same music file to get a deasent quality one. :(

i hope they can change the client so it maybe could get back among my favourite p2p clients

i used to use winmx until it was abandoned by the programers. the last release was last year and the major change was in the chat client. they need to fix the bugs and make the connections faster. now i find myself using bearshare lite. works fine for me.

You ppl better stop doing crack ! I used WinMX yesterday with wonderful results and high quality songs and videos. If you forgot how to set up Winmx, then send me a note and I can send you my screenshots of my setup for 256 DSL. Hold on a sec, I'll fire up Winmx 3.53 version right now......(pause) 467,744 gigs of files available right now..... (^: You gotta join the OpenNap servers to get better results. I usually join 5 or so to find the files I want.

There is so much illecit stuff out there - it's great what technology can do.

On topic. I used WinMX for a little, then discovered BitTorrent and liked it much better.

I used winmx from Dec of 2003 until last week with no problems. Occasional time outs. Any time I had problems connecting, i removed the program from my computer, googled it and redownloaded it. Monday, it would not connect. Removed from my computer and found every link broken to redownload it.

any suggestions and I have never touched crack in my life. lol. Also, any substitutions if gone? Is this the end?

Besides the Host file fix - which seems quite slow (just not the same) - where is the new home for WinMXers?

The WinMX community is back, the files are back, and the users are taking a stand. Get connected Today (http://www.MXPie.com).

It is time for the RIAA to understand that they cannot destroy filesharing by intimidation any longer. They may be able to bully Corporations, but the users are not going to sit by and let it happen.

MXPIE (http://www.MXPie.com) is an effort by the users and for the users, with an agenda of making WinMX (http://www.vladd44.com/mx/) a p2p network not only for the users, but maintained, organized and perpetuated by the people.

Come Join us, we believe that we can make a difference in this fight to take away our rights. We welcome all of those who are tired of going from one p2p network to another simply because the RIAA flexed its billions of dollars worth of muscles.

MXPIE (http://www.MXPie.com) is quick, easy and free to use, it contains no spyware, adware or any other form of malware. We even provide a manual modification that allows you to see exactly what is being done that only takes minutes to do yourself.

Another site worth note is Computer Problem Help Forum (http://www.gemini777.net), this site has also been at the forefront of this movement, and can help you with any general computer problem that may or may not be related to WinMX.

Check out the MXPIE Website (http://www.MXPie.com) for everything you need.

I hope to see you on WinMX soon! Realtime help is available for WinMX 3.53 users. Go to WinMX Channels (http://www.vladd44.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6514).
